IASbaba Daily Prelims Quiz
For Previous Daily Quiz (ARCHIVES) – CLICK HERE
The Current Affairs questions are based on sources like ‘The Hindu’, ‘Indian Express’ and ‘PIB’, which are very important sources for UPSC Prelims Exam. The questions are focused on both the concepts and facts. The topics covered here are generally different from what is being covered under ‘Daily Current Affairs/Daily News Analysis (DNA) and Daily Static Quiz’ to avoid duplication. The questions would be published from Monday to Saturday before 2 PM. One should not spend more than 10 minutes on this initiative.
Gear up and Make the Best Use of this initiative.
Do remember that, “the difference between Ordinary and EXTRA-Ordinary is PRACTICE!!”

Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With reference to ‘Large Hadron Collider’, consider the following statements
- It is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle collider used to study particle physics
- The goal of the experiment is to allow physicists to test measuring the properties of the Higgs boson
- The collider primarily collides two opposing beams of electrons at high speed
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(a)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Incorrect The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle collider. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories, as well as more than 100 countries The LHC’s goal is to allow physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics, including measuring the properties of the Higgs boson searching for the large family of new particles predicted by super symmetric theories, and other unresolved questions in particle physics. The LHC primarily collides proton beams, but it can also accelerate beams of heavy ions: lead–lead collisions and proton–lead collisions are typically performed for one month a year. The collider has four crossing points where the accelerated particles collide. Seven detectors, each designed to detect different phenomena, are positioned around the crossing points. Context – Scientists at CERN observe three exotic particles for the first time

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
‘TiHAN’ a testbed which was launched recently is related to
Correct
Solution(c)
The “Technology Innovation Hub on Autonomous Navigation” is a multidisciplinary initiative, which will make India a global player in the futuristic and next generation “Smart Mobility” technology”. In India, there is presently no such testbed facility for assessing autonomous vehicle performance, and hence the need for this TiHAN Testbed
Context – TiHAN Testbed for Autonomous Navigation at IIT Hyderabad, a unique, first of its kind, state of the art, futuristic “autonomous navigation” facility to develop unmanned ground and aerial vehicles.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Ranking of States on Support to Startup Ecosystems’
- DPIIT has been conducting the States’ Start-up Ranking Exercise since 2014
- Gujarat and Karnataka emerged as the Top Performers
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Incorrect The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has been conducting the States’ Start-up Ranking Exercise since 2018 to facilitate the ease of building a start-up and doing business across the country. Gujarat and Karnataka emerged as the Best Performers in a category of States which included NCT of Delhi. Meghalaya won the top honour among UTs and North-eastern (NE) States. While Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa and Telangana got the Top Performers award among states, Jammu & Kashmir emerged as the Top Performer among UTs and NE states.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Consider the following statements
- Lithium is a relatively stable Alkali metal
- Argentina, Bolivia and Chile form the Lithium triangle.
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution (b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable and must be stored in a vacuum, inert atmosphere, or inert liquid such as purified kerosene or mineral oil. The Lithium Triangle is a region of the Andes rich in lithium reserves around the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. The area is thought to hold around 54% of the world’s lithium reserves. Context: Australia to supply rare earth minerals (Lithium) to Indian EV makers
